little things that they're carrying with them to use for storage the rooftop tents we've got a couple trailers some really cool vehicles i think you guys will find interesting but i wanted to do this before they pack up so we're just going to get the camera and roll so let's go check them out okay so you can see we've got about 11 vehicles out here and everybody has their own unique way of doing things you know we've got some rooftop tents we've got some trailers we've used some ground tents out here and want some very cool vehicles so what i want to do is i'm just going to do one take we're just going to walk around and i'm just going to show you everybody's vehicle kind of how they've got things set up there's some really cool things and maybe it's you'll find something you'd be like oh i'd love to do that on my vehicle so taking a look at this fj this thing is very nice we're on bead locks 35s it's got the roof nest tent up there with the awning of course the trasharoo on the back and then he's got it really decked out back here for storage you can see there is i'm not sure what size arb fridge is there but it's a big one got some bags some boxes just keeping things pretty simple pretty straightforward back here the bumper back here with the swing out tire carrier that's a solid bumper right there uh we got some co2 over here got some gas got water and then they've just been hanging out here this morning having some coffee enjoying the view over here now some people wanted to camp right on the rim over here and that's this crew others were a little worried that they might be sleepwalking or get up in the middle of the night they didn't exactly want to be so close to the edge now this truck right here we got a couple full-size rigs and you cannot go wrong with a ram power wagon this thing is a beast i've seen these things perform off-road and they just they just go solid axles front and rear and uh it's a great truck and the cool thing about this truck is you can carry a lot of gear and it's not even gonna care he's got this thing decked out really well you can see he's got some solar panels going on the window right there getting some of that sunlight to charge up his goal zero we've got an eye camper tent got some shoe bags got some fuel cans some water cans looks like he's got a little spray nozzle over here and then just tons of storage boxes and look at all that space you get with the power wagon just a ton of room you got a yeti cooler trash bag pack it in pack it out right you've got your high lift jack just a great truck works really well for him a great guy that owns that truck over here we've got a gladiator let me get out of the sunlight so that sun is not shining right in your face sorry i didn't mention we're doing a one take here so no editing on this one guys because everybody wants to pack up we're going to be heading out of here in about an hour now the gladiator is really nice i love the red wheels this just really makes it pop and of course he's got some badge of honors here a little anchor on there hoorah and he's got the 23-0 weekender tent with the little annex down below annex is nice because you have that privacy right there if you need it and then in the back of the gladiator he's got like this you still got the tonneau cover but then there's a tray up here where he's got a little rear light and then plenty of places for storage in there so i like that little rack it's like a half rack but you still get to use your tonneau cover got some fuel mounted up there solid setup sorry about the sun here let's take a look at this view i'll before you show you this next jeep you got it i mean you just gotta love this view i mean we're camping right on the edge here that's the colorado river down there i mean this is what we woke up to this morning this does not suck does not suck at all all right next jeep this jeep is awesome smoochy little purple jeep love it really really laid out really nice you can tell it gets a lot of use got a nice uh smittybilt winch like i'm not sure what bumper that is up front um and lots of ducks in the window if you're not familiar with that but that's just a thing that's become a thing lately is getting ducked so people will throw little ducks on the jeep if you think it's cool and then uh just got some basic simple storage solution back there got the smittybilt tent that's the same tent that i had for a long time it's a good tent swing out tire carrier plenty of fuel we did ask people to bring extra fuel for this trip because we are doing quite a few miles off-road yesterday was awesome in the back here hey that's a nice decal i like that if they rb fridge you know just stuffing everything in there just like you need to little tailgate table very cool setup and we got over here is a jeep jail and again with the storage boxes very organized looks great i like these little storage patches up here because it allows you to take advantage of this area up there and put some stuff he's got them on both sides so that's very cool use of that space nice little tail of the gate table i think that's the front runner tailgate table very cool he's got the rhino rack up there he's got some fuel he's got the rom tent he's already put his tent away but that's uh that's the same room tent i had for a little while it's a good tent of course you know you got to level it out so whether you use rocks or use these little uh rv pads it works well good looking jeep good looking jeep this jeep you're probably familiar with of course marco is here and uh always good to have him he cooked up a great meal last night he's got some solar panels going uh to charge up his jackery system although he may have these oh he does he has these connected to his new solar system so let me show you this guys so you see he put in this little plug here for those solar panels and then in here let's get the camera right he's got the renergie power management system for solar and then he put in i mean this is look how clean all this is he's got two 20 amp fuses a little bluetooth receiver in here really very cool it's always nice to see marco doing something new with his vehicle and he's getting that power management squared away and of course uh the rooftop tent is no longer on his jeep because now it's on the trailer and he is loving the trailer there he is as i trip over a rock what's up buddy what's up good morning how are you super happy to be here dude how about this view better than this it does not it's so awesome yeah what do you think about the

he's got the ham radio he's got the gmrs radio and then he's got a speaker there so easy access to that so that's a great solution if you're considering mounting more than one radio thanks buddy i forgot i almost forgot you just did that so i don't know guys i think maybe we need to do another walk around on marco's jeep one of these days okay uh let's see what's new on my jeep since the last video not a whole lot except for the whole jeep well the whole jeep's two you two weeks old but just before this trip i put on the james barood space tent my good friends over at rhino adventure gear helped out with that i gotta say so comfortable i slept really well last night in that thing awesome i'm looking forward to a lot of use out of there um back here having that 60 delete for the goose gear has just made it nice to keep extra storage in here got the water got my goal zero camera gear got the trasharu on the back of course you've already seen all the goose gear set up and i had coffee going this morning to make coffee you know it cause we were enjoying the view did i mention there's a nice view here okay another full-size vehicle this one's cool this is a f-150 again nice decal right there i love it uh he's got an awesome rack up top where he's got some max tracks a light bar a light bar in the grill on the edge you can see he's got his this is the midland antenna right there that's a cool little placement for it you know full-size rigs you know they're big but you can i mean there's a whole family in there and they've got no want for space you've got the rsi smart cap these things are really nice these are solid aluminum so very good and then inside look how clean i get the lighting there brad get the light in there look how clean that setup is in there everything just has its place because he's got so much room in here it's easy to do that but he's got water down here storage axes first aid kit make sure you got your first aid kit water the winch is detachable he was telling me so you can put that on and off if he needs to looks like there's a little uh battery system down there some power outlets high lift jack lots of storage the big old dometic fridge got the freezer on there gotta have that ice cream at camp if you want it and then there's all their gear boxes and tables pretty cool all right this one this was cool i've always wanted to see one of these up front so this is the opus tent and if you've ever seen one of these tents deployed this all fills up with air so this is there's no poles in there you just blow this whole thing up with like a big compressor and this thing just blows up and uh and you get like this massive massive house inside it's really cool it's a nice trailer plus it's very capable watching this thing a handle off-road was no worries but let me just i got permission we can take a look inside here real quick you can see you got you got a bed in there you got a couch there's a little toilet underneath here lots and lots of room and again these are all these are all just air tubes right here so these just fill up with air it deploys super fast and all of a sudden you get all that space little camp kitchen out here four burner stove got a sink over there yeah that's pretty convenient that's pretty nice it's a solid setup let's take a quick look at their jeep that they're using to tow it with i think he said it was 2400 pounds 2800 pounds for the trailer so the jk is towing that with no problems trash rue on the back you can see all this dust we hit some fine dust this is that dust that just gets everywhere and everything uh a lot everybody's jeep is everybody's vehicle i should say i can't say cheap everybody's vehicle is super dusty um great looking rig okay how about how about this lj over here this thing is beautiful one of my favorite wranglers is the lj they only made him for a couple years just a great vehicle he did have a little bit of a challenge on the trail yesterday and i'll show you here in a second as we walk around and just admire this beautiful lj very well built very capable but he did break did break a shock last night and so let me see if we can get underneath here and you'll see sorry i told you we're doing one take can you see the shock there we go so he broke he broke the shock and the shock mount oh camera's getting upset at me so we'll come out of there anyway he broke up he broke the shock and the shock mount uh we're gonna get him fixed uh when we get back into town but he's okay for now uh but you know sometimes that happens when you're out wheeling you just got to be prepared for that kind of stuff and then he's got this really cool trailer that he has built himself these are on actuators so these things just by the press of a button rise and fall so you got a ton of storage in there rooftop tent they just made it look like a jeep tub so they just all match looks really cool they were cooking up some delicious breakfast this morning it was awesome uh let's see let's go up on the hill over here so up here we've got another jeep with the trailer it's a turtle back trailer you can see he's got some solar panels going and they've already packed up they're ready to go but just a quick walk around of their vehicle sorry i'm walking uphill i'm getting a little out of breath here guys just a quick walk around of this trying not to trip on these jagged rocks nice little setup lots of storage it's a full family up here that's using this vehicle and so this is perfect for them a great little setup and come on look at that view that they woke up to this morning that's pretty nice and then lastly over here you got some folks that you know you don't have to have a rooftop tent you don't have to have a trailer to go have fun sometimes all you need are just some of the basics and so a ground tent basic camera kitchen setup a hardcore jeep sometimes that's all you need you don't have to spend a ton of money to go have fun have a good adventure and so this is a great simple setup i love using the rooftop tent because it's low weight i take that back i meant to say i love using a ground tent because you don't put a whole it's not a whole lot of weight it's really not that hard to set up and you can easy storage you can see they've got look at that air mattress that thing is awesome nice comfortable air mattress in there yeah that'll keep you comfortable all night long again that all packs down really compact and when all you have is a jeep you don't have a whole lot of storage so that sometimes that is a great solution so a great looking vehicle great setup great group of people out here guys i'm out of breath uh okay look that was just a quick walk around i thought you guys might enjoy taking a look at everybody's vehicle this is just been such a great event so far we still got two more days to go with this e3 overland event and if you're not an e3 overland premium
